This was her first tattoo and it was an awful experience. For an 80 dollar tattoo will be 1800 to take off which she deserves to have removed because it's horrible..

Beware. The first picture was air dropped to Jeff ( co-owner ) and it was a simple print out he did…read moreand it went well. The lines are nice and even. The placement is even as well. The second picture are of tattoos i had done yesterday and they will cost me a fortune to remove. He completely free handed the outline and took no steps to make sure the tattoo placement was placed straight and evenly. When he showed me the stencil, it was in pencil and not shaded in thus my frame of reference couldnt have been clear. I even questioned the number sizing on the one below my knee and he assured me it was even. Trust your gut. Do not be afraid to speak on something you dont 100% love. I don't recommend going to him for anything you want out side of simple line work because i 100% regret going to him.

Showed them what i was interested in he went and talked to an artist named "Rafael." He drew up a design and it was really good. He took a little bit to make sure his work station was clean and safe. Right before he started the tattoo, he asked if I had any injuries so he could accommodate me so I would be comfortable through out the tattoo. Offered me a water. Rafael is very detailed and made sure that everything was done and didn't miss anything. He has a light touch. Rafael is very professional and I felt very comfortable. Other artists would go by and say Hi and stop and talk. I will be going back to Main Street Tattoo and Body Piercing in Merced from now on. Ask for "Rafael." I know I will be.

My girlfriend and I drove to this tattoo shop in Downtown Merced to get her belly button pierced on…read morea Saturday because it's my go-to piercing shop in the Merced area. When we got there, we were informed that the piercing lady wouldn't be in until 1:30 pm. We went out for a walk and came back around that time, only to have to wait another 30 minutes to 1 hour for the piercing lady to come in. We didn't really mind too much at the time. When we finally went in, the Lady was really inviting and nice, however, it was noticeable that she was feeling rushed. She marked my girlfriend and all looked good. She also reassured my girlfriend that there would be no issues with it and it as all okay. About a month later, we went to get my eyebrow pierced and then also asked about the general redness around my girlfriend's healing belly piercing. Looking at it, suddenly the piercing lady suggested that my girlfriend didn't get it pierced with her and she strongly DENIED ever seeing her, making my girlfriend feel insecure and uncomfortable. (We told her we saw her about 3 weeks to a month ago.) The lady was notably rushed again when we came the second time. Overall, good vibes and knowledge about piercings but professionalism and kindness was lacking. My girlfriend and I left the shop that day upset and in anger. We understand that she may not remember every person, but denying that one modified a person's body is just rude and uncalled for. UPDATE (6/20/26): As of lately; Shop owner has denied ever performing our piercing, I would not trust this business at all.

I received a navel piercing here about a year ago. It was marked while I was lying down, and I…read morenoticed immediately that it appeared crooked. Over the next three months, I experienced persistent pain and developed an irritation bump. I ultimately had to remove it, which left a visible scar. When I returned to discuss the issue, the piercer denied having done the piercing, despite my appointment being only a month prior. That response was very upsetting and made the situation feel even worse. I've since had other piercings done elsewhere that healed without issue, which leads me to believe the original placement may not have been correct. I'm sharing this so others can ensure their piercings are properly assessed and that their concerns are acknowledged.
